Catasauqua, which forced 23 turnovers and committed just four coming into the game, now has a plus-24 turnover margin through nine games.

Though the offense with Bradley, Burton, Paryss Marshall, who caught three TD passes Friday, Alex Parker and the Stopay brothers are enough to make any defensive coordinator cringe, Catasauqua's ability to create short fields and momentum shifts has been equally critical to its dominant run.

The combination has worked to the tune of a 377-66 scoring advantage through nine weeks. The Rough Riders have scored at least 35 points in each game.

Northern Lehigh (6-3) took the opening kickoff and quickly moved to the Catasauqua 27-yard line. But Eric Matz recovered a Danny Marsh fumble.

Catasauqua scored 10 plays later on a fortunate bounce when Bradley's pass to Parker hit off Parker's hand and Zach Stopay dived for the nine-yard touchdown catch.

"That was an awesome play by Zach," Bradley said.

Northern Lehigh, which had 287 yards of offense, again drove into Catty territory. But a penalty on third down took the Bulldogs out of a running situation and a pass attempt was incomplete.

Zach Stopay had both fumble recoveries in the second quarter that led to late Catty scores. Matz stripped the second one after Northern Lehigh's Nate Farber picked up 14 yards on a burst up the middle.

"We gave up too many turnovers," Tout said. "We knew they were going to get their points, but we made critical mistakes."

The first of Matz's two rushing TDs gave the Rough Riders a 20-0 halftime cushion. They never looked back.

"The score doesn't show what this was like out there," Falzone said. "Our guys struck when they had to. They made some big plays. That's what we've done throughout this season.

Matz scored from two yards out with 26 seconds left in the second quarter. The 61-yard drive was set up by Zach Stopay's second fumble recovery of the half.

Catty's first TD of the second half was set up by a perfectly executed 31-yard pass from Bradley to Parker on third-and-10 from the 19. Eight plays later, Bradley hit Marshall with a six-yard TD pass on a perfect fade route in the right corner of the end zone.

"We worked out a lot on our own in the offseason," Bradley said. "We've been playing together our whole lives.... We still have a way to go, with districts and beyond. But this feeling is awesome."
